"Great staff and food!"

"Our stay at this property was absolutely wonderful. The house, gardens, and views were even more stunning in person than in the photos. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained.The owners were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The caretaker met us at the local grocery store, waited while we picked up supplies, then guided us to the house and gave us a thorough walkthrough. The owner also stayed in touch throughout our visit and was especially helpful when my son needed medical care, providing prompt and valuable assistance.Do note that the house is located on a steep dirt road—having a 4x4 vehicle is definitely recommended. The nearest beach is just a short drive away, and there are plenty of excellent restaurants, scenic beaches, waterfalls, and other attractions nearby.We had an amazing time here and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area!"

"Highly recommended. Facility is outstanding. Only thing better is the service from staff. One of the best vacations I have ever been on. "

"The property was as described with no running water due to construction in the area. The road was dirt with lots of pot holes. It was almost impassable. The property owner responded the first day about no hot water. No answer at all about not having any water at all."

"The location of the property is beautiful, set back from the road and elevated for a great view of the Pacific. We particularly enjoyed the Happy Hour each day at 5:00 to enjoy the fabulous sunsets. The pool, the colorful plants, the toucans, tanagers, orapendulas and numerous other birds added so much to our visit. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Our 5 days spent at Cristal Ballena were top notch!"

"My stay at this jungle resort in Costa Rica was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the lush surroundings, the peaceful atmosphere, and the incredible hospitality. The resort is beautifully tucked into nature, allowing you to truly disconnect and soak in the beauty of the jungle. A special shoutout to Dan, the owner, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready with great local tips and stories. Whether it was arranging transportation, recommending hidden gems nearby, or just checking in to make sure I had everything I needed, Dan’s warmth and dedication made a real difference. If you’re looking for a place to relax, explore, and connect with nature—this is it. I can’t wait to come back!"
